This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Enriqueta brings slab, strong, headline energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Archivo absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its grotesque, variable, technical texture and dependable rhythm. Together they create a typography stack that scales from high-impact landing pages to dense documentation without retooling your CSS tokens.

Pairing Strategy

Balancing Enriqueta with Archivo

Build a contrast-first system where Enriqueta leads and Archivo keeps long-form content legible.

This pairing is engineered for teams that need a clear hierarchy without sacrificing brand voice. Enriqueta brings slab, strong, headline energy to hero units, pricing sections, and campaign headlines. Archivo absorbs the heavy lifting for paragraphs, product storytelling, and UI labels with its grotesque, variable, technical texture and dependable rhythm. Together they create a typography stack that scales from high-impact landing pages to dense documentation without retooling your CSS tokens.

Enriqueta thrives as a headline face thanks to its slab, strong, headline qualities. Use weights 700–900 for crisp editorial lockups.
Archivo excels in paragraphs and UI thanks to its grotesque, variable, technical traits. Keep it between weights 400–600 for optimal readability.
Hierarchy guidance: run a 1:1.4 modular scale and reserve Enriqueta for H1–H3 while Archivo powers captions, body copy, and data tables.

Best-Fit Use Cases

  • High-growth SaaS landing pages that require slab hero statements with trustworthy product copy.
  • Editorial magazines and thought-leadership hubs where Enriqueta can dramatize pull quotes while Archivo keeps 1,500-word essays skimmable.
  • Conversion funnels or onboarding flows that need Archivo's grotesque voice to balance Enriqueta's attention-grabbing display.

Accessibility Notes

Maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for Archivo body copy and loosen letter-spacing to 0.01em for uppercase Enriqueta moments. Pairing different categories demands disciplined color pairing—test both light and dark themes to ensure Archivo does not bloom at small sizes.

CSS Implementation Cheatsheet

:root {
  --tm-header-family: 'Enriqueta', serif;
  --tm-body-family: 'Archivo', sans-serif;
  --tm-header-weight: 700;
  --tm-body-weight: 400;
  --tm-header-tracking: -0.01em;
  --tm-body-tracking: 0em;
}
Heading scale: clamp(2.75rem, 4.5vw, 5.25rem) for H1, clamp(1.5rem, 2.8vw, 3rem) for H2, and keep paragraph size at 1rem–1.125rem with 1.6 line-height.
Component guidance: Buttons inherit Enriqueta at 700 for momentum, while forms, tables, and footnotes stay on Archivo with 400 weight for predictable kerning.

FAQs

Why does Enriqueta make sense as the lead font?

Enriqueta owns the emotional register of this system. Its slab, strong, headline profile helps anchor campaign creative, meaning marketing and product teams can reuse the same voice without reinventing the scale.

Where should Archivo show up?

Archivo is the workhorse. Keep it in paragraphs, long-form editorial, knowledge bases, or anywhere legibility is non-negotiable. Its grotesque, variable, technical qualities reduce fatigue on dense layouts.

Does this pairing support complex localization?

Yes—both families are available on Google Fonts with generous glyph coverage. Test cyrillic/latin accents early, but most Latin-based locales and UI patterns are fully supported.
